Charlotte D

Hey everyone! My name is Charlotte and I’m a final-year undergraduate student, studying Film Studies and the Visual Arts, and loving my time here at Leicester. When I’m not studying you’ll normally find me at the cinema, with my nose in a book, or maybe you’ll just hear me playing my saxophone from streets away! Expect lots of posts about my work and play, as well as my experiences in my role as an Equality and Diversity Champion, here in Leicester.

No..not Christmas, although I’d forgive you for thinking that with all the chocolate tins already clogging the supermarket shelves. We’re a mere two weeks away from university freshers, and a confusing game of Tetris, trying to make all your stuff fit into one car. So, this is a little post for all of you […]

As a film student it’s always a good idea to keep on top of watching cinematic content, and using this to develop reason as to why it is important to digest such media…but then of course the other half of the films I watch I simply do it because I want to. I have a […]

A-Level results have just passed, so I thought that a year on it was probably time to tell you my University application story. The truth is, I applied for a course I didn’t really want to do; hear me out, it wasn’t like I wasn’t passionate about the subject, I did however find it extraordinarily […]

September is fast approaching, which means new starts for a lot of people, whether it’s your first year of University, finishing GCSEs, or the beginning of sixth form college. However, one of the biggest changes is entering your final year of A-Levels, and potentially applying to University. If you are in this boat, you will […]

I’ve learnt a lot from my first year of University, and most of it hasn’t really come from my lectures. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve doing a lot of studying and reading up throughout my various modules, but I guarantee I’ve learnt more, even if it’s about far more trivial subjects, from the new people […]

As all Leicester University students will know, Oadby, i.e. the mother-ship, is the Leicester suburb home to the majority of our University’s halls. I have a lot of love for Oadby, primarily because most of my first year was spent, when not at the University itself, pottering around the various flats and other facilities there; […]

Wishing to begin a discussion on sex and relationships, particularly at university, I thought I’d start with something that, although hard hitting, is relevant to me. Just under a year ago I went through a difficult breakup, after ending my most serious relationship to date. It’s taken me a long time to adjust, and it’s […]

I arrived home from the United States at 5am this morning, and suffice to say I don’t feel remotely alive. I didn’t really fancy doing a ‘What I Did On Holiday’ kind of post, even though I have lots to say, but I thought I’d talk about the slightly more unique events of the […]

Casting my mind back to this time last year, I had finished my A Levels, officially left sixth form, and was sitting in a foreign country trying to distract myself about the then scary prospect of moving out to University. In hind site I wish I hadn’t have been so nervous, now realising it […]

First things first; as this post goes up I will not actually be tapping away on my laptop, I will be on a long haul flight, hopefully soon to arrive in the United States. So I thought I’d do a bit more of a general post, on my most recent favourite shows to watch; […]
